Subject: Re: [PATCH] memory-hotplug: use PFN_DOWN in should_add_memory_movable

I really detest this patch and c8e861a531b0 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: use
PFN_DOWN()") which has started to use PFN_DOWN in that file likewise.
It obfuscates a perfectly understandable construct of addr->pfn
conversion by a macro which I have to really check what it does because
the name suggests I am rounding an existing pfn down.

This really doesn't help the readability.
